First time buyers and demand for residential conveyancers

The number of people buying new homes soars in 2014.

Now is the time to enter the market if you are a first time buyer.

According to the Council of Lenders, the number of first time buyers entering the property market is on the increase. In the first quarter of 2014, there were 34% more first-time buyer loans in comparison to 2013. In addition to this, there has been a 20% increase on home movers taking out a total of 79,000 loans during the same period. These are all reassuring signs that the property market is in recovery.

We are still experiencing a huge demand for residential property fee earners and assistants. For those keen to enter the practice area, many of our clients are offering in-house training programmes. We have a number of fantastic opportunities with Legal 500 listed firms and smaller high street practices, all offering competitive salaries and career development paths. There is no better time to consider new opportunities within this thriving sector.
